For field shooting, Karelia was chosen with its difficult climatic conditions. The director suffered all the hardships during the work together with the actresses, for whom he became the second "girl" commander Vaskov. The film group included many front-line soldiers, so the film screenings were very meticulous.
Before the artists were approved for the role, each of them went through the voting stage. Seriously organized work on the painting "And the Dawns Here Are Quiet." The acting ensemble, as already mentioned, was composed mainly of debutants.
Many have tried on the role of the impudent beauty Zhenya Kamelkova, but the choice fell on Ostroumova.
